The Phillies vs the Cubs is on ESPN tonight. Right now they’re leading the game 3-0. It’s an added bonus because they played the Pirates this weekend and I get to see them today.
Also, since the Cubs and White Sox share WGN, I might be able to catch another game either tomorrow or Wednesday. Sweet!
The Pirates lost all three games to the Phillies. Today it was 5-1. The games weren’t even close.
The Phillies are winning which is what I wanted. But the Pirates are getting their butts kicked. They were winning this game until the Phillies really opened it up. So they’ve lost 2 of 3 and 11 of 14.
But getting beat 8-1 then 10-5 bites. I hope they at least make it close tomorrow.
I just wrote a post saying that I hoped that either Ryan Howard or Chase Utley hit a home run when the Phillies come to town in late August.
Well it sure as heck won’t be Chase because he broke his hand last night in a game against the Nationals and he’s out for a least a month. He’ll probably come back the week after they leave here.
I wrote this post about House of Payne when the show was only 3 weeks old. I said I liked the show and for the most part I still do. However, yesterdays episodes left me with some doubts.
Let me first say that there are some plot holes in the show that need to be ironed out. Things about Janine (the crack-head wife) for instance or what purpose the new firefighter (Alex?) adds to the show. Sex appeal maybe? Because I really don’t see a need for her to be there.
I’ve read a lot of negative reviews and one common theme seems to be that Tyler always makes the woman out to be the bad guy. All of the women in his plays, movies, and now his tv show, have issues. Yesterday is a good example of this. Carmen claimed CJ was her daughters father because they slept together for the 3 weeks that him and Janine were broken up in high school. (What?!?!?!??!) Umm, ok. That doesn’t really make sense but I’ll work with it. Then at the end of the show, the blood test comes back and low and behold, CJ’s not the baby daddy.
That storyline really irritates me. I know it happens all of the time but c’mon, did Tyler really need to perpetuate that stereotype on his show?!?!?! So is she supposed to be so promiscous that she doesn’t even know who the father of her child is? I reckon’ so.
It gots to get better than that Tyler. Fo’ real.
Ewwww. That man needs a haircut. And what is with the eyeliner. Maybe that was cool back in the 80’s but c’mon dude it’s old and tired. I guess some women will do anything to try to jumpstart their “careers” because making out with him is just nasty.
Excuse me while I go heave. Let me say that I don’t think he’s skanky or nasty but making out with all of those different people is skeevy.
My favorite color is blue and I usually don’t like red. But as soon as I saw this theme I knew it was the theme for this blog. It looks wild and crazy and it fits in with the Insane Random Ramblings name. It’s also multiple columns so I can put up multiple links, blogrolls and sites that I like reading.
Now if I could only get the darn spellchecker to work.
How many posts do you show on your homepage? On most of my blogs, I show 10. I have enough posts that you could read those and still go at least 6 pages into the archive reading posts. My most active blog has almost 350 posts, so you could read that one for a long time.
This blog however, only shows 7 posts. I think that’s too many because I don’t have a lot of posts in my archives. You can only go back 3 full pages and part of another. I had it set up to display 5 posts but that wasn’t enough. If I had short posts, they wouldn’t even reach to the bottom of the page. I thought that looked tacky so I changed it.
I generally post once a day on this blog, so within the next week or two I’ll have 5 pages of posts. Then I’ll work my way up. But not at the risk of posting garbage posts.
I started to just name this post random ramblings or something like that. Then I decided to put my whole blog name into the post because there are several other blogs with those words in their title.
Anyway, training camp starts tomorrow and I’m not excited. Maybe once we start preseason games I’ll be more into it. I’ve never even been to Latrobe to watch the players train.
I still haven’t made plans to go to a baseball game yet. I’m thinking about going to the Phillies game on 8/19. That’s the day after I get back from my cruise. I can’t go on Saturday the 18th because by the time I get home, the game will have already started. I don’t have anyone to go with yet, but I might go by myself.
I know one thing, if I do go see the Phillies, Ryan Howard better homer or I’ll be mighty pissed. Ok, if Chase Utley homers I’ll be happy too.
I have a lot of stuff to buy before my cruise. I need to make a list so I don’t forget anything. I need batteries for my digital camera and disposable cameras to take along. I want new sneakers too.
I wish I could afford that MLB package. I really enjoyed being able to watch games all day and all night. I don’t go out much. I’m a real homebody. I could watch tv all day and night so the more games I see the better. I wish that special would have lasted a little longer. Like the rest of the season!
I never liked diet soda. I’ve been drinking it because I’m trying to lose weight for my vacation. I have lost about 13 pounds. I wish it was more but I’m beginning to actually enjoy diet soda. Now if I could only lay off of the junk food. Oh well, one thing at a time I guess.
First of all, why does the spell-checker not like the words blog, blogs or blogger? Umm, wordpress is a blogging platform so those should have been the first words programmed into the program.
Secondly, why does the spell-check feature not work at all on this blog? I don’t know if it’s the theme or just a glitch in my admin files, but it does not work.
